After a brief glance at everyone, Alan walked forward quickly and saluted, "Alan Ulanos greets His Majesty the King."

Charles II waved his hand absently and smiled: "Our little Ouranos is really heroic, a little more heroic than your father."

This is not a simple compliment, and while Alan is looking at everyone, everyone is also paying attention to Allen.

In this appearance, Eren is no longer the universal costume of the mainland nobles who wears it before. Allen, who was deeply influenced by modern aesthetics in his previous life, couldn't accept applying grease and powder, and wearing red and green was the same as a sassy bag. For this reason, Alan personally reformed his clothes.

The upper body is a pure white silk underwear, then the same white velvet shirt, the outermost is a black tight-sleeved close-fitting short jacket, and the lower body is cotton and linen pants with trouser legs. Underfoot are soft-soled boots made of buffalo leather. With the addition of a wide trench coat with black breasts, the overall style is very close to what it looked like in the previous life.

By the way, Alan also asked the maids in the manor to make cameo models when he was fine, and got some shy women's clothes out. However, when Allen was designing, he thought about the sacred cause of creating welfare for the majority of male compatriots in the future, and as a senior old driver, even if he crossed into the other world, he couldn't forget to start the car. This time, I'm going to take men from all over the continent to that beautiful Gensokyo! Alan swore silently in his heart.

Then again, in an age when men are still wearing slip skirts, the style is definitely edgy. Every nobleman who saw Allen's dress was shocked and inexplicable. Some people who are receptive to the new culture think that this dress is simple and perfectly highlights the masculinity, while some old antiques think that wearing pants is the dress of northern barbarians, and disdain Allen's dress.

Anyway, no matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, they have to pretend to appreciate it very much on the surface, even though they have despised it ten thousand times in their hearts.

After a few polite words, the pre-war meeting finally began in a friendly atmosphere.

As the chairman of the conference, Charles II was the first to speak: "This time the righteous kingdom of Ammushi will surely defeat the evil Moslian Empire!" We are blessed by the Light! I believe that this time we will win the victory and wash away the shame of ten years ago!"

After the chairman of the meeting set the basic tone, as a close confidant of Charles II, the Duke of Lawrence continued: "This time we will pass through the Arras Mountains from Thermopylae, and then go north, first take the Lower Lorraine region, and then Your Majesty and I plan to divide our troops and continue to march north all the way, and defeat the Upper Lorraine region, and approach the Moslian royal capital Segvia!" The other route is from Lower Lorraine to the east, taking the Fort of Marseille, then north along the Brocken Mountains, then taking the city of Prague and finally meeting at Segvia. ”

Division? Alan frowned, it has been taboo to divide troops since ancient times. The first is that due to the backwardness of the command system, once the troops are divided, it will inevitably lead to obstacles in the intelligence and communication between the two sides, and if the enemy cuts off the contact between the two armies, then the two sides will be alone in the depths. The strategy of dividing troops in the enemy's place is feasible unless there is a great advantage, and now that the war has not started, and the opponent does not know the reality of the enemy, how can he make a hasty decision whether to divide the army?

The Duke of Manuel immediately asked, "Then who will take the first way and who will take the second way?"

Duke Bashir immediately said, "Lord Lawrence, as the shield of the kingdom, has protected His Majesty the King many times. With you by His Majesty's side, we are naturally relieved. And although the Duke of Ouranos is also a brave man, he is too young, so we should still choose a person who is old and respectful. ”

Duke Manuel agreed: "Lord Bashir is right. However, I think that Duke Bashir is not too young, and this expedition is full of dangers, and I am afraid that the burden on Lord Bashir will be too great, so it is better to share it for His Majesty. ”

Among the four dukes of the Kingdom of Ammusi, Duke Bashir and Duke Manuel are both in the south of the kingdom, and their territories are bordering each other, so they also form an offensive and defensive alliance politically to confront Duke Lawrence and Duke Ouranos.

These few words directly excluded Allen and Duke Lawrence.

The first way must have been led by King Charles, and this is clear to all. But the commander of the second road is the fragrant bait that everyone is vying for. Because as the commander-in-chief, he has the right to distribute the spoils of war, and these barbarians are fighting for the sake of fame, so that they can boast of hooking up with noble ladies at various banquets. The other is for the money. This kind of war between nations, every city is a good opportunity to plunder, with the prosperity of Moslian. As long as a city is conquered in this war, hundreds of thousands of gold coins are absolutely indispensable.

"This is not true, this expedition is a battle of shame for our Ammuxi Kingdom, and it represents a battle of dignity for all the nobles of the Ammuxi Kingdom. The Moslians are cunning and abnormal, otherwise they would not have been defeated ten years ago, although the Duke of Manuel is young and strong, but most of the young people are young and vigorous, after all, they have no experience in fighting with the cunning Moslians. Although we have not won a big victory in the next few decades, we have experienced dozens of battles, and even if we cannot win, we will be able to guarantee that we will not be defeated. As long as you can help Your Majesty contain Moslian's army, Your Majesty will definitely be able to defeat King Paul in one fell swoop!" Duke Bashir said slowly.

Sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy, and Duke Bashir quietly belittled Duke Manuel, and at the same time said that he would never compete with Charles II, and finally praised Charles II. It's really well-organized and well-founded.

Charles II immediately agreed, and the so-called battle plan was thus decided.

Among them, Duke Lawrence and Allen basically did not speak.

It's just a bunch of barbarians. This military conference did not discuss anything other than the issue of the distribution of interests, and there was no other discussion about the composition of the armed forces, the distribution of troops, the operational ideas, or the strategic center of gravity. I just pointed out two paths, and then I just fought. Allen despised this group of people who only knew how to compete for merit. I gave a negative score to this expedition early.

Since the death of the old Duke of Ouranos, the alliance between Duke Lawrence and the Ouranos family has been missing, resulting in the power of Duke Manuel and Duke Bashir in the kingdom's court, and gradually squeezing the Ouranos and Lawrence families to the margins.

Helplessly, in the face of such a situation, Duke Lawrence and Alan couldn't say anything, so they could only nod in agreement.

Alan silently decided that this expedition must preserve his strength, not move lightly, and not take the plunge. What can you do with this group of barbarians? His own gang of Qiu Ba are all the hard work of smashing pots and selling iron, how can they waste it on this kind of thing.

Charles II was very satisfied with the results of this meeting, and seeing that everyone had finished speaking, and one by one they were drinking tea, in a daze, so he stood up and said: "Everyone, this is the end of today's meeting. In the evening, the court held a dinner party, and we sincerely invite you to come. ”

Hearing that there was food and drink in the evening, the four dukes also came to their senses, and respectfully replied: "Your Majesty invites me, and I am deeply honored to go to the appointment."

Just as Alan walked out of the palace and was about to return to the camp, he was suddenly stopped by Duke Lawrence.

Duke Lawrence looked at Alan and said with a smile: "My dear little Alan, you have finally grown up, I heard that you expelled Andrew Earl of Tulga before, I am very proud of you."

Alan knew that Duke Lawrence was a very close family when his father was alive, and later helped Alan stabilize the title after his father left, which can be said to have been of great help to Allen, so he also smiled: "Dear Duke Lawrence, thank you for taking care of the Ouranos family, I will definitely remember it in the future."

Duke Lawrence shook his head and said, "Eh, you don't have to be so formal, you can just call me Uncle Lawrence like before, can't you be separated after a few years?" Also, I'm not taking care of you, the Ouranos family. ”

Seeing Allen's puzzled expression, Duke Lawrence laughed and said, "I have a crush on you, dear little Allen." Back then, your father was seriously ill, the Duke of Essis was in chaos, and all forces were mixed, but you were in the whirlpool of the storm, and you were not panicked in the face of danger, and it was because of your performance that I supported you. You don't need to thank me too much, it's all up to you. ”

Alan didn't expect that the original Alan before crossing turned out to be a genius, if he hadn't crossed over, maybe he could have made a career. Thinking of this, Alan couldn't help but be a little confused, he was just an ordinary person before he crossed over, how could he cross over, he was engaged in war and construction, and it seemed that he was still doing a good job. Was he influenced, or was the original Alan influenced by himself? Are you still not yourself?

Thinking about it this way, Alan suddenly fell into the three major problems of philosophy, who am I? Where am I from? Where am I going?

However, Alan still didn't worry for long, he was originally an optimist, although he fell into the fog all of a sudden, but the three major problems of philosophy have been solved by countless capable scholars for thousands of years, so what kind of effort did he have to do.

Alan put down the puzzle in his heart, and still saluted respectfully to Duke Lawrence: "Even so, I still have to thank Lord Duke for his support, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today."

The Duke of Lawrence feigned displeasure and said, "Hey, didn't I say I was going to call me Uncle Lawrence?"

Alan laughed, "In that case, please forgive the boy for being rude, Uncle Lawrence."

Lawrence laughed and said, "Haha, that's right, little Alan, you go back first." I haven't seen you for so long, so I want to have a few more drinks with my uncle in the evening. By the way, I also brought you a gift for the evening. ”

Alan said, "Obey the order."
